Tips for tippers: it isn't what you expect

I'm a big believer in only paying for what you take. If you get substandard service in a restaurant, the tip should reflect it. So, I'd extend that thinking out. If you don't use the maidservice during your stay, don't tip. Why pay for nothing?

I agree that you shouldn't tip for something that you don't use. However, keep in mind that you should leave some kind of tip if the room was neat and tidy upon your arrival. Someone cleaned it since the last guest was there and someone will straighten it up after your departure. So if you are declining maid service during your stay, you shouldn't have to tip each day, but be sure to leave a tip just before you check out.
